Membership

How to Join CSANA

All CSANA memberships include a subscription to the North American Journal of Celtic Studies.  To become a member of CSANA and subscribe to the journal, visit ohiostatepress.org/NAJCS.html and click on ORDER NAJCS to start the process. Membership is valid for one year, expiring on December 31. CSANA offers four different levels of membership. (Please note that rates given below are electronic subscriptions. Print subscriptions are marginally greater to defray rising publication costs.)

† Contributors help to defray the expenses of the annual meeting, support grants and awards, and allow CSANA to develop new projects. We encourage you to join at the highest level you can.

Questions about membership should be directed to the CSANA Treasurer: treasurer@celticstudies.org.

Member Directory
Members are given the option of being listed in our Directory of Celtic Studies, where we host profiles of Celticists across North America and internationally. This is an especially good opportunity for students seeking to establish a public presence in the field.
